title: Michigan Institute For Medical Quality. Developing a physician-directed quality movement.
abstract: Many different organizations are developing programs that influence patient care. Large employers and coalitions, state and federal programs, hospitals and health systems and health plans all have an interest in monitoring utilization and costs. The common denominator for all of these programs is that they influence how physicians deliver care to patients and can ultimately affect the quality of that care.
